In response to the COVID-19 outbreak and in a shared effort to help keep our communities safe, Brigham and Women’s Hospital has decided to postpone our annual Step Up For Stepping Strong challenge originally scheduled to take place May 1-30. We are working on a new date for the program and exploring the possibility of September to coincide with the Boston Marathon. Your company representative will notify you when the new program dates are finalized.
